1998 GMC Yukon brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I just bought a 1998 yukon and during inspection asked about my brake issues. I was told that there was a recall for the ABS. I looked it up and it is doing exactly what the recall states (gm re-call #05068). During low-speed braking, it has an increased stopping distance, which could result in a crash. The recall is only for 1999-2002 vehicles. I'm wondering why the 1998's weren't included in this re-call as it is apparent that they have the same issue. What should I do about this?
While driving, the vehicle ride started to be choppy no longer smooth and when I applied the brakes the vehicle felt like it was bucking, then when we proceeded down the road we heard a loud bang of metal ,then it felt like the brake pad had broken or caliper had fallen and it was grinding the noise lessened with a little pressure on brake pedal. Service station found center of rotor had separated on front passengers side and driver's side was ready to go. I called gmc and was told there have been no recalls on 1998 yukon's for rotors and because I had 102731 miles it was not their problem. Both rotors were replaced with new pads, I told gmc that I kept the original rotors from service station. Updated 01/27/06.
While applying the brakes,the pedal went to the floor. The driver noticed the brakes lack of braking power in order to stop the distance. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection. The mechanic informed the consumer that the rotor needed to be replaced due to the rotors being warped. Please fill in additional information.
Nar 05/28/2003 *mr the consumer brakes locked in a major traffic jam due to sensor failure and the cost of repairs were approx $455.00.
Front rotors and pads warped and worn out.
Brake system on the yukon is a weak link on an otherwise great vehicle. We have complained about the brakes to the dealership numerous times and was told that it is normal. The problem with it is that the pedal goes almost to the floor everytime it is used and you tend to wonder if the truck will stop in time. I read in the paper this week that the yukon's brakes on the 1999 and later trucks were recalled and would bet that the problem is the same. Either way I want a complaint listed about these lousy brakes on the 98 model yukon and maybe gmc will design a fix for this lousy system.
Brake pedal reached the floor when depressed and brakes keep on squeaking even after repair. Yh
When applying the brakes suddenly and then releasing the brake pedal, there is a jerk to the vehicle. Dealer has seen vehicle and said itwas normal. This problem occurrs sporadically.
Anilock brake system failure since purchase, causing vehicle to violently pull to the side when suddenly applying brakes, almost resulted in an accident. Several repairs, however problem continues. Aw
Abs brake problems; 3 0r 4 times a day when applying the brakes, under normal braking situations, regualr road condtions, the pedal goes down to the floor broad and the ABS does not kick in, resulting in extended stopping distance. Vehicle has been to the dealer (6) times for brake problems. Dealer admitted there was a problem with the ABS, but could not rectify. On 5/12/98, driver was involved in a crash due to brake problems.
